## Detailed Description

Typedefed as Gtk::TreeView::Selection.

This is a helper object to manage the selection for a Gtk::TreeView widget.

It is automatically created when a new Gtk::TreeView widget is created, and cannot exist independently of this widget. The primary reason this class exists is for cleanliness of code and API. That is, there is no conceptual reason all these methods could not be methods on the Gtk::TreeView widget instead of a separate class.

The Gtk::TreeSelection object can be obtained from a Gtk::TreeView by calling Gtk::TreeView::get_selection(). It can be manipulated to check the selection status of the tree, as well as to select and deselect individual rows. Selection is done completely view-side. As a result, multiple views of the same model can have completely different selections. Additionally, you cannot change the selection of a row on the model that is not currently displayed by the view without expanding its parents first.

When monitoring the selection of a view, it's important to remember that the "changed" signal is mostly a hint. That is, it may only emit one signal when a range of rows is selected. Additionally, it may on occasion emit a "changed" signal when nothing has happened.

## Member Typedef Documentation

typedef Glib::ListHandle<TreeModel::Path, TreePath_Traits> Gtk::TreeSelection::ListHandle_Path

typedef sigc::slot<void, const TreeModel::iterator&> Gtk::TreeSelection::SlotForeachIter

For example, void on_foreach(const Gtk::TreeModel::iterator& iter);.

Note that you cannot modify the tree or selection from within the callback function. As a result, get_selected_rows() might be more useful.

typedef sigc::slot<void, const TreeModel::Path&> Gtk::TreeSelection::SlotForeachPath

For example, void on_foreach(const Gtk::TreeModel::Path& path);.

Note that you cannot modify the tree or selection from within the callback function. As a result, get_selected_rows() might be more useful.

typedef sigc::slot<void, const TreeModel::Path&, const TreeModel::iterator&> Gtk::TreeSelection::SlotForeachPathAndIter

For example, void on_foreach(const Gtk::TreeModel::Path& path, const Gtk::TreeModel::iterator& iter);.

Note that you cannot modify the tree or selection from within the callback function. As a result, get_selected_rows() might be more useful.

typedef sigc::slot<bool, const Glib::RefPtr<TreeModel>&, const TreeModel::Path&, bool> Gtk::TreeSelection::SlotSelect

For instance, bool on_select_function(const Glib::RefPtr<TreeModel>& model, const TreeModel::Path& path, bool path_currently_selected) The select function should return true if the state of the node may be toggled, and false if the state of the node should be left unchanged.

ListHandle_Path Gtk::TreeSelection::get_selected_rows | ( |  | ) | const

Creates a list of paths of all selected rows.

Additionally, if you are planning on modifying the model after calling this function, you may want to convert the returned list into a list of GtkTreeRowReferences.

Return values

  model | The current TreeModel.

Returns
  a standard container containing a Gtk::Model::Path for each selected row.

TreeView* Gtk::TreeSelection::get_tree_view | ( |  | ) |

Returns the tree view associated with selection.

Returns
  A Gtk::TreeView.

Returns
  `true` if path is selected.

bool Gtk::TreeSelection::is_selected | ( | const TreeModel::iterator& | iter | ) | const
